Do I need a visa for Egypt?
On television there was a program "A real tourist home" under the heading "Special Correspondent", which said that visas to Egypt are free for citizens of the Russian Federation. Is it so?

you did not confuse anything???
the visa is paid (if nothing has changed in the coming days).
but the Sinai Stamp, which is valid on the territory of the Sinai Peninsula, is free.
there was such a trick that supposedly only for the summer period the visa fee was canceled.

Anetka-gan, visas were canceled not "supposedly", but really, from June 10 to August 31, 2012, and not only for Russians, but also for tourists from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Turkey, China, India and Azerbaijan. The visa-free regime was introduced only for organized tourists, guarantees for which were given by the travel companies responsible for their stay in Egypt. And "Sinai only" did not have to ask:)) Since September 2012, the visa fee for Russian citizens entering Egypt is again 15 dollars.

Upon arrival in Sharm, you have two options: buy a visa for $15 or put a free Sinai stamp. The visa was canceled only for the summer period.

This program "Real Tourist Home" was actively discussed at travel forums. Very unprofessional transfer. Now the tourists who watched it and did not ask a question at the travel forum will break into Hurghada at the border shouting "let them in without a visa, we're supposed to!")))
There were a few other solid blunders in the transmission.
But in fact - the Sinai stamp can only be obtained in Sharm El Sheikh, it gives the right to stay only for 15 days. You can not go on all excursions with it, for example, to the Ras Mohammed reserve - only by sea, you can’t take a bus.
In Hurghada and Marsa Alam you need to get a visa worth $15.

So I also think that the transfer was unprofessional and only confused people. Egypt and Turkey are considered visa-free countries, but this only means that you do not need to submit documents to the Embassy in advance to obtain a visa, but there is a simplified version, you just buy a stamp at the airport and that's it. Everything else has already been described above and will not be repeated.
